Session - Private Messenger 17+

Suggestions and a bug

Please add support for:
- An option for a delay on the screen lock requiring authentication to get back into the app (30 seconds, one minute, five minutes, etc.)
- Larger versions of the emoji reactions to messages; they’re super tiny right now
- changing the font size via the iOS Text Size feature in the Control Center
- Also, at least the iPad version of the app has a bug in which it often doesn’t prevent the screen from locking during a video call; the screen dims and then eventually shuts off, both on low-power mode and regular mode. Re-unlocking the iPad and going back to the video doesn’t fix the problem; it just occurs again. It would appear that the bug is triggered when the user minimizes the video to look at some thing in the chat and then goes back to the video. The only solution I have found so far is to quit the app and restart it.

Great app but one major issue

This app’s great and i’ve personally always loved it. It’s always felt secure and just safe in general. The only problem keeping me from giving it a 5 star rating is a really annoying issue that I get. It started happing just a few weeks ago. My session message requests end up deleting on their on. Like, I’d open the app, see a bunch of message requests that i’ve yet to open, but when i click on “Message Requests” button on top of all my chats, the pending chats just delete on their own. Its really annoying and a part of me is writing this review just so I could find a fix for it.

Regardless, great secure app with very few bugs.

Great

Session stands out as an exceptional choice for those prioritizing absolute privacy and security in their communications. As a decentralized messaging platform, it removes the central points of failure and surveillance that other apps struggle to avoid, ensuring your messages stay completely private. What sets Session apart is its commitment to anonymity; no phone number or email is needed to sign up, just start messaging with a Session ID. This, combined with end-to-end encryption based on a modified version of the renowned Signal Protocol, secures your communications against eavesdroppers and hackers. Its open-source nature further confirms the integrity and security of the app, as any potential vulnerabilities can be quickly identified and addressed by the community. For anyone serious about their privacy, Session is not just a good choice—it's the best choice.
